What is the GMAT Exam?
The Graduate Management Admission Test® (GMAT®) is a computer adaptive examination administered year-round at test centers throughout the world. The GMAT exam measures verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills developed over a long period of time.

GMAT scores are used by approximately 4,700 graduate management programs at more than 1,900 schools.
